Reflection on my Poster

I was happy overall with my poster.  The process getting up to the poster was a bit of a hassle, but it all paid off in the end.  I felt like my poster was well-ballanced and the font went nicely with the style of my object.

Don Norman's Video

I really agree with what he is saying in this video.  He mentioned things that I never really realized and opened my eye up to good design and how good design makes us feel.

Dieter Rams 10 Ways to Good Design

I thought Dieter Rams ideas were very true and efficient.  He seemed to list all the key qualities in design and really simplify it for the reader.  I think some of the most important components he listed off were that it has to be useful and use as little design possible.

My Well-Designed Object

For this project I am drawing a book light.  The book light has a very abstract shape, and looks very futuristic.  the light bulb is round, and can turn on a light that is red or white. it is held in place by two sides and the book light can bend in any direction you might need it to.  The clip for the book is also rounded.  My object is well-designed because it is very different from normal book lights and has a fun and distinctive shape to it.
